isaacotokhagua: Ensure you have financial support to cater for your tuition yearly, accommodation and living expenses before traveling to any country abroad be it Cyprus or elsewhere. You may find job and if you do that may pay some bills, you may not find job as well but with financial support your education will be intact. Take note; job scarcity is bound to be very high in most countries now due to pandemic and may continue for many months while each country will prefer to utilize protectionism (to serve their own people first).

Update on Artificial Intelligence (AI) AI is an important technology that receives a lot of media attention; however, many of its definitions are overly vague. In fact, a lot of people have opinions about it even if they are unfamiliar with how it works neither it limits or capabilities. In a simple way, we can say AI is the capability of a machine to imitate intelligent human behaviour. AI is not new and in fact, it has existed for over 60 years but today, these technologies have become immensely sophisticated and advanced. Arthur Samuel had a goal to teach a computer to play checkers better than himself, so in 1959, he taught a computer program to play checkers. He succeeded, and in 1962 his program beat the checkers champion of the state of Connecticut. What he did was to teach computer which simply means machine learning which is a subset of AI. Difference between AI, Machine learning (ML), Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Deep learning (DL)? AI, machine learning, deep learning, ANN are often used interchangeably to describe software that behaves intelligently. All these are different and works differently and it is useful to understand the key distinctions among them. Notably, they all point to one goal which is making a machine to be intelligent like or more than human. Note that there are a lot of ways to simulate human intelligence, and some methods are more intelligent than others. Machine learning is a subset of AI and deep learning is a subset of machine learning, and artificial neural network It is a structure consisting of ML algorithms. In other words, all machine learning is AI, but not all AI is machine learning. What are some of the Programming Languages used in AI and ML or to deploy the apps? Python, Java, Lisp, Prolog, R, C++ and Scala programming Languages are major programming language used for artificial intelligence. Python is considered to be in the first place in the list of all AI development languages due to simplicity and plenty of libraries in python. However, it is up to a developer to choose which of the AI languages will gratify the desired functionality and features of the application requirements. For me, I use Python R, Scala in that order. Artificial Neural Network and it's Applications ANN is a set of algorithms, modelled loosely after the human brain and train to recognize patterns or approximate. It interprets sensory data through machine perception, labelling or clustering of raw input. ANN consists of the following components: Data------train input data-----construct different ANN model---select best ANN model selected subset-----test the model on testing data Neurons – A neuron is a mathematical function designed to imitate the functioning of a biological neuron. The artificial neuron computes the average weight of the input data and transmits the result through an activation function (such as linear, hyperbolic tangent activation function, logistic activation and rectified linear activation function). Connection and weights – The connections connect a neuron in one layer to another neuron in another or the same layer. Each connection has a weight value which represents the strength of the connection between the units. Propagation function – This is a function that is used to transport values through the neurons of AN layers. The input values are added up considering the weights and biases and transmitted to an activation function, which generates an output. In the neural network, two propagation functions are often used: the forward propagation that delivers the “predicted value” and backward propagation that delivers the “error value.” ANN procedure– the neural network does not just simply memorize a set of data but we train different ANN models with the training dataset, select the one that performs best on the selected dataset and test its capabilities with testing data subset. Learning rate and Training Strategy – Since you want to teach the machine to be intelligent, then you have to train it. So the learning rate decides how quickly or slowly you want to update the weight values of the model. There are numbers of training algorithms like Gradient descent; Quasi-Newton method; Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm; Stochastic gradient descent, Adaptative linear momentum and many more. Each has its advantages and drawbacks. For a smaller dataset, let say 15 variables, 2000 instances; Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is recommended due to its high speed but not good for a large dataset due to it's lower memory. While for extensive data sets (1500 variables and 1000000 instances), the stochastic gradient descent or the adaptative linear momentum methods are the best choices. Few examples of what ANN can do: These can be classified under Classification (or pattern recognition) -----Diagnose breast cancer form from diagnosis images. -----Detect forged banknotes or predict the probability of default of credit card clients. -----Increase the conversion rate of telemarketing campaigns in banks. -----Detect diseased trees from remote sensing data -----Diagnose acute inflammations of the urinary bladder. -----Detect faces, identify people in images, recognize facial expressions (angry, joyful) -----Classify text as spam (in emails), or fraudulent or plagiarism; recognize sentiment in text -----Detect voices, identify speakers, transcribe speech to text, recognize sentiment in voices -----Detect fake or low-quality wines (my students work on this for her final year project) Approximation (or function regression) -----Model the strength of high-performance concrete or building materials. -----Predict the noise generated by airfoil blades. -----Predict the energy storage capabilities of batteries or supercapacitor (I worked on this and obtained practical results) -----Predict the electricity generated by combined cycle power plants or forecast the power generated by a solar plants -----Forecast waste generation rates of a community, hotel or facilities (worked on this and published the paper) -----Monitor conditions in a greenhouse for optimum agricultural yields and disease detection Below picture is a simple pathway on how ANN works To be continued ![]() ![]() 13 Likes 6 Shares

Application of Artificial intelligence (AI) & Machine Learning to Laboratory/Field Data I am a self-taught programmer with sufficient practical skills in high-level programming languages. Over the years, I have seen how AI is being used in various industries and I learnt this to inculcate in my laboratory research data and field results; this is awesome and has been very helpful. In my lab, I have fed data from tourism sectors, waste management, pollution control, biomedical research and disease detection into ANN to discover intricate relationships or recognize complex patterns. In particular, I have applied AI modelling to: 1. Predict Waste Generation Rates of Hospitality Industry (paper published in the Journal of Sustainability). Here: For the first time, this study shows that municipal waste from hospitality facilities can be forecasted by considering measurable and effective parameters via an artificial neural (AI) network-inspired forecasting model. The field results showed that 4159.9 kg (recyclable: 58.5%, general waste: 23.6% and food residue: 17.9%) and 2063.4 kg (recyclable: 33.6%, general waste: 18.5% and food residue: 47.9%) of waste were generated during the peak and lean season from the 22 hospitality facilities investigated, respectively. While the ANN predicted that small and large hotels would produce 5.45 and 22.24 tons of waste by the year 2020, respectively. 2. To understand complex relationships in portable energy-storage devices fabricated in our lab (paper recently published in Journal of Electronic Materials) Here: excessive strain on fossil fuel resources have ignited the global energy crisis; to curtail this menace, researchers have directed concerted efforts on energy storage devices. In this research, we used chicken bones to build portable energy storage supercapacitor and applied ANN to understand the complexities, thus shortened our experimental work by 69% and we are able to understand what parameter improves the energy storage ability of the supercapacitor. Artificial neural networks (ANN) are one of the main tools used in machine learning. ANN is brain-inspired systems inter-connected layers which are intended to replicate the way humans learn. ANN is an excellent tool for discovering patterns which are far too complex or numerous for a human programmer to extract and teach the machine to recognize. Below are some of my works where ANN have been used. Diagnosis of breast cancer by AI: Here, AI was applied to assess whether a lump in a breast could be malignant (cancerous) or benign (non-cancerous) from digitized images aspiration biopsy.

Graduate Research Proposal for a Self-funded or Scholarship Today, I will provide some details regarding the research proposal with a focus on PhD applicants although applicable to prospective master students. Also, the focus will be more for institutions abroad and I believe is adaptable to national institutions also. If you are applying for a graduate programme, you will need to submit a research proposal with your application; this forms the basis for making a judgement about your suitability for graduate research. What is a Research Proposal? A research proposal is an outline of the applicant proposed research that is used to persuade potential supervisors and funders that your area of research is worthy of their support. Why is the research proposal important? ---It is used to establish whether the university has the expertise and research facilities to support your proposed area of research ---It is a crucial part of the assessment of your application ---To have an idea of your theoretical understanding, that is some evidence of your ability to conceptualise and apply theoretical resources. ---To gauge the quality of your writing so that your potential to write research papers for publication is known. Does a Research Proposal have word limits or fixed format? Research proposals do not have a fixed format and may vary in length. Hence, so it is essential to check with the department or university to which you are applying to check the guidelines and word limits. Typically it is between 2000 and 3,000 words in length (3-6 pages). Times New Roman 12 point is preferable where the words are Justify to make it a clean paper. Is the research topic fixed? Should I just send a proposal to any supervisor or a specific supervisor? The title of the research proposal is not fixed and is just the starting point, as your ideas evolve your proposed research is likely to change. Many applicants seem to be fixed when it comes to the research proposal title and whom to send to. I understand that some applicants have research area they have experience and skills on, however, you have to be very flexible and inculcate the ability to learn and re-learn. If an applicant is working on bitter kola in Nigeria with a focus on its medicinal and antiviral properties. If such an applicant prepares a beautiful research proposal and sends to researcher/supervisor in Slovenia. The chances that no supervisor will respond is nearly 95%. This is just simply because in Slovenia, they don't know what is bitter kola and that won't be one of their research focuses. Source of the precursor is scarce or unknown. Similarly, if an applicant sends a research proposal about the treatment of water polluted by crude oil to a supervisor in Rwanda or Hungary or Cyprus. Chances that such applicant won't be considered is very high because these countries do not have their own oil reserves and most researchers there don't even have firsthand detailed information about oil pollution and likely will not be in their interest. Here are some tips to guide applicants when it comes to title and whom to send to: ---First, you have to check the research profile of the supervisors in the department you are applying and scheme out those that are working in your field of research. These are the ones you will send to. You cannot send a proposal about water treatment to a researcher working on Meningitis ---Second, you need to make a title that is very flexible and suitable to be adapted to a high number of international settings. So, clearly define the topic that you are interested in studying. If you find a researcher working on water treatment and you have an interest. Then you have to ensure the nature of pollutant such research is working on. Instead of sending a title like this "Application of Fe3O4 nanoparticles for treatment of Chloroquine polluted hospital water". This is title makes it very rigid and may not be very suitable and interesting due to lack of or trace amounts of chloroquine in the hospital waters of where you will study. Rather, you may change the title to "Novel Iron-based nanomaterial for the total removal of emerging contaminants in Hospital waters". This particular title is not rigid and not directly fixed on a particular target pollutant (chloroquine) or particular adsorbent (Fe3O4) that is alien to another researcher or country but covers various other related and suitable research work. ---In your proposal show that you have begun to identify and develop an interesting and original research question in relation to your chosen topic ---Explain your reasons for wanting to undertake this research What are the criteria used by the committee? The committee likely employs the following criteria in reaching its conclusions. Depending on the nature of the research you proposed, the relative weight of those criteria may vary. this is not fixed, but am using an example of what we use in my location and a few other countries I have participated or work. This is divided into two sections: General criteria and Specific criteria. General criteria: This majorly looks into the scientific originality of the proposed research. ---Should not be limited: The proposal must not limit itself to a purely descriptive overview of sources or empirical data. It has to show your personal contribution in assessing and analysing the main research question and/or the sources and empirical data. ----The thoroughness of the proposed research: This part reviews the degree to which the proposal’s approach is likely to answer the research questions completely, and whether it is supported by the relevant empirical data and/or sources. ----The interdisciplinary nature of the proposed research: This will check if the proposal and methodology tend to employ a variety of disciplines so as to reach a systematic comparison and /or integration of these disciplines. Specific criteria: This evaluates with respect to methodology (research questions, context, research approach and planning). -----Reproducible and intersubjectivity: The proposed research methodology must entail clarity of purpose that others can repeat it, and as the case may be, can improve upon it or criticise it. -----Accuracy and Adequacy: Proposed methodology has to be the right means to answer the research question(s) while considering potential alternative methods. Also, the retained method has to lead to correct results, clear and manageable insights. ----With respect to the (applicant)researcher: During the evaluation, the research ability and potential of the applicant, considering the research topic and the proposed methodology, will be assessed. What should a research proposal contain? To be continued.... ![]() ![]() ![]() 13 Likes 4 Shares |

Huzzle001: Each country/university has its admission criteria and scholarship criteria for PhD. Someone may be admittable but such person may not meet the requirement to be awarded a full or partial scholarship or vice versa. So I believe you have a good chance, so give it a try. Don't let anything serves as blocking rock to achieving your vision. Since you have a bachelor degree and MBA, you can apply directly for a PhD...I don't see any reasons why you should do another MSc before going for a PhD unless you choose to. Here is a common Admission Requirement for PhD in a Business related program abroad (extracted from a Canadian University webpage): Education In most circumstances, a master’s degree from a university of recognized standing in an appropriate area of study is required. Applicants without a business background will be considered but may require additional courses in the functional areas of business. Research interest A clear and strong statement of your research interest focusing on what you want to study, and identifying at least one of our faculty members who focus on this area of expertise, will benefit your application. You are strongly encouraged to read our faculty profiles to identify whether your research interests align with our faculty members. Highlight this alignment in your application. GMAT or GRE (some university don't ask but can strengthen student application) A GMAT score of at least 600 or GRE with a balanced score of 302 is required. Typical PhD Scholarship Requirements (PhD is for Research): PhD scholarship is often competitive. Scholarships are awarded based on an applicant’s academic record, research output and prior research experience. So, candidate’s past records of education (CGPA), documents submitted during the application, research experience and skills, research interest and Quality of Research proposal, how relevant the person research aligned to the faculty or specific supervisor as well as the clarity of objectives are taken into consideration by committee members during evaluation. Should I go back for an MSC in Nigeria (and possibly apply later for a PhD as it gives me a better chance) or will it be possible to gain admission for an MSC abroad on scholarship and subsequently seek for a Phd admission there? I don't see why you should do that, you already have MBA.....that's master in Business Administration or was it honorary? So why would you need to go get MSC again? There is large number of students that got admitted from Bachelor directly into PhD abroad. I have 4 of my ex-undergraduate students who got admitted directly from Bachelor to PhD without having a master degree. These undergraduate students were in my lab and each had 4 reputable research papers which happened to be related to their chosen PhD, the university found them well-equipped with a competitive academic record, reasonable research output and sound prior research experience. Even, I had my ex-undergraduate student with her low CGPA she had two research papers and was finally admitted directly to PhD in the USA (Bachelor to PhD) just this last Feb and she resumed already. She contacted me for a Ref and I have screenshot her letter here. In summary, visit websites of each university you wish to study, check their requirements and see if you meet up, apply and wait. The procedure and steps are generally stated on the universities websites. Best wishes 4 Likes 4 Shares

Iceman2020: I understand you much better now. This is quite easy, however, you need to get familiarised with it and be attentive to each trend observed and discuss the major trend. I can teach you and you will know it. Before I teach you, I will like to know your current level of understanding scientific or academic results when visualized. I have attached one of my graphs from my recently published paper (2019). I want you to interpret this graph to the best of your ability...Don't rush, take your time and must not be today. Then I will be able to have an idea about your present level. Pointer: CB= Carbonized Adsorbent, CMB= Magnetized carbonized material. Note that the bars are linked with the removal (%) The other one is how can one proffer a better solution to a published journal. I am a MSc student writing my thesis and my supervisor asks me to critique some journals.. You have to make a critique and send me at least 1-2 pages and send me copy of the journal then I will review and assess you then point you to some directions and tips to improve your paper review. 5 Likes 2 Shares

guiddoti: Thank you so much and I do appreciate the support and God bless you also. You are right in the bold section. From a little encounter with some, the stories remain the same "lack of equipment/facilities". While many are not supposed to be lecturer nor even work in academia but the state of the economy pushed them into. The bedrock of education is research and any lecturer that only teach without research needs a re-think because all universities are ranked based on the quality of their research output. 4 Likes 3 Shares |

Iceman2020: Good day. I really want to answer these questions. But I don't understand the questions. Please explain more or illustrate so I can answer (1) How can someone analyze/interprete the results of a journal? Do you mean a published work and you want to understand the trend already discussed in the published article? When you use the word "Journal" does it means "published article or published research paper or published review paper"? Or you meant something like "Journal of Material Engineering"? (2) How can I critique a journal? Still confused with what you meant here. Do you mean to review a published paper or a specific Journal like "Journal of Cancer Materials"? If I understand, I will be able to provide direct answers and support with illustrations. I await your response. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

chalxdon: Thank you so much. Yes Encapsulation makes lot of sense because even after the delivery of these biomolecules to the patient, they are still vulnerable to degradation; and thus require protection to assure potency and maintain integrity. To curtail these constraints, an encapsulation strategy in a suitable controlled delivery vehicle has been adopted. The controlled release vehicles have become the focal point for various material scientists and biomedical industries; because they can maintain the biomacromolecules (such as nucleic acids, proteins and peptides) concentrations within the cellular microenvironment, inhibit their degradation and reduce toxicity to non-target cells and provide a sustained release to the target organs. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

We have much larger work but am trying to create an avenue to put all on a website in the form of training, support and insights to sprout research interests among African. I believe many African can do much better if given the right environment to propel.....although we have many (as you people call it "The WAILERS" ....these ones will wail if Jesus does not come and will also wail if Jesus comes).......... I have seen these wailing acts are common among current youth in Africa and Nigeria specifically...as their energy is directed to frivolous pieces of stuff rather than a sustainable and honest and dedicated smart pathway. 3 citizenships and one nationality. Unigrad: Thank you for contributing to the thread. My research activities focus on sustainable and green processes for the synthesis of advanced functional materials. The main application areas include water purification, energy recovery, bioelectricity generation, energy storage devices, sensors, drug delivery, biomedical implants and controlled release drugs for biomedical application and portable electronics etc. What I do at my spare time is coding/software (am self-taught), I love climbing mountains (I learn how to combat challenges, resilience and creativity during these frequent trips). Am Avid traveller (currently visited 75 countries and will go more until 170 at least). Life: I don't believe in negativity, meaning I always see good things in stuffs that helps me to turn things around. I don't believe the colour of my skin, my height, my language, my gender, my nationality or residency will hinder me to achieve....this gives me huge boasting energy to excel in what I do.

My Recent Scientific publication: HumanDNA Gene therapy to cure incurable diseases Recently, we focussed on Gene Therapy. Gene therapy is a promising therapeutic approach recently adopted to effectively treat many challenging inherited diseases and acquired incurable disorders. This has been canvassed as a breakthrough in molecular medicine. Unfortunately, its application in vivo is inhibited due to difficulties in transportation of negatively charged molecules like DNA. Our Approach: In this work, we explored the feasibility of encapsulating in human DNA (hDNA) into calcium alginate-based supermacroporous cryobeads prepared via microinjection and freeze-thawing cryogelation protocol. We succeeded and tested the efficacy on the incurable diseases. We have received funding for this research and we just published one of the results from our research.
